The century's top 50 handheld games

Companion site Next Generation has compiled a list of the 50 best-selling handheld games of the 21st century, and it's no surprise that Nintendo's mark is all over it. As you're probably aware, it's only 2006, so we've still a few years to go until a definitive list of this century's games can be crafted, but honestly, who wants to wait that long?

Despite its relatively short time at retail, the PSP has several games that made the cut, but make no mistake, the Game Boy Advance and DS dominate this list. So much in fact, Next Gen has only counted the top-selling entries in the Mario and Pokemon franchises to prevent them from cluttering up the top spots.
